Biography
Servando Gomez Martinez was born on 6 February 1966 in Arteaga, Michoacan, Mexico. He worked as a teacher, which led to him being nicknamed "La Tuta"; he would later become the operational chief and spokesman for La Familia Michoacana. He was indicted in the United States for smuggling cocaine and meth across the border, and he became a well-known drug trafficker under LFM. In 2012, he founded the Knights Templar Cartel after the falsely reported death of LFM leader Nazario Moreno Gonzalez, and he called for the formation of a popular front to fight against the brutal Los Zetas cartel. However, he later betrayed the people, and the Knights Templar took over the state for themselves, beheading people and engaging in terrorism and drug trafficking. On 27 February 2015, Gomez Martinez was captured in Morelia, Michoacan by Mexican Federal Police, one of the most-wanted drug lords at the time of his arrest.
